I had no idea that Le Mans had an historical medieval center like this. It was an extremely pleasant surprise to discover it. It is not commercially exploited (not in late winter/early spring, anyway) and looks very authentical.

That is just awesome to walk by the old town in Le Mans, it's a place to admire, to think about the life in the past and sometimes you find a luthier store, a traditional french restaurant or a tourism agency!

What was the big draw? Quite honestly, it was just a bit boring here. Lots of walking, some charming old buildings and then... nothing. No quaint shops to step into, no events to attend. It's nice, and probably worth a visit, but not going to occupy and entire day, or even an afternoon. On the plus side, it was free.

The plantagenet city of Le Mans is like a handful of diamonds dropped into the middle of an unsavoury pancake. If you love we'll preserved cobbled streets and architecture walk every street and alleyway until you need to sit down in the cathedral or one of its many restaurants.
